Uncontested, Rep. Groen a shoo-in for District 10

ROCHESTER — After running uncontested, state Rep. Warren Groen won re-election Tuesday in District 10, which represents Ward 3.

According to unofficial results, which do not include write-in votes, Groen, a 57-year-old Republican, received 1,589 votes during Tuesday’s election.

Since 2000, Groen has co-owned Groen Builders, Inc., with his nephews and brother Fenton Groen, the state senator in District 6.

Before the election, Groen said, “My goal is to reduce the rate of growth of government, shrink the government whatever possible, and control spending. The reach of government has far exceeded what the founders intended.”
